Job 33
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
1Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, and hearken to all my words.
1Toe Job, ka lok hae tahngai ah; ka thuih ih loknawk boih hae tahngai ah.
2Behold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
2Khenah, vaihi pakha ka angh moe, ka palai mah lokthuih.
3My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart; and that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
3Ka loknawk loe ka poek toenghaih hoiah ni angzoh; ka palai mah kahoih palunghahaih lok to thuih.
4The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty given me life.
4Sithaw ih Muithla mah ni kai hae sak moe, Thacak Angraeng ih takhi mah hinghaih ang paek.
5If thou canst, answer thou me, set thy words in order before me, stand forth.
5Na pathim thaih nahaeloe na patim ah, amsakcoek ah loe ka hmaa ah angdoe ah.
6Behold, I am toward God even as thou art; I also am formed out of the clay.
6Khenah, Sithaw hmaa ah kai doeh nang baktiah ni ka oh, kai doeh long hoiah ni sak toeng.
7Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.
7Khenah, na zit han koi kai khaeah tidoeh om ai; na nuiah kazit ban to ka koeng mak ai.
8Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words;
8Na thuih ih lok to ka thaih, na thuih ih loknawk to ka thaih boeh,
9'I am clean, without transgression, I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me;
9kai loe ka ciim, zae sakhaih ka tawn ai; sakpazaehaih doeh ka tawn ai.
10Behold, He findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for His enemy;
10Khenah, Sithaw mah ka zaehaih pakrong; kai hae a misa ah ang suek,
11He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths.'
11ka khok hae thlong ang thuk pae moe, ka caehhaih loklamnawk boih ang pakaa, tiah na thuih.
12Behold, I answer thee: In this thou art not right, that God is too great for man;
12Khenah, na thuih pazae boeh; lok kang pathim han vop, Sithaw loe kami pongah len kue.
13Why hast thou striven against Him? seeing that He will not answer any of his words.
13Anih mah ka sak ih hmuen kawng pongah lok pathim ai, tiah na thuih moe, Sithaw to na laisaep thuih loe?
14For God speaketh in one way, yea in two, though man perceiveth it not.
14Sithaw mah lok vaito thuih pacoengah, kalah loklam bang hoiah lok a thuih pae let, toe kami mah panoek pae thai ai.
15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
15Kami loe iih angam moe, iihhaih ahmuen ah a iih, qum amang ah hnuksakhaih mah,
16Then He openeth the ears of men, and by their chastisement sealeth the decree,
16a naa thungah lok to thuih pae moe, thuitaekhaih lok to paek,
17That men may put away their purpose, and that He may hide pride from man;
17kami mah sak atimhaih to pahnawt moe, amoekhaih tawn han ai ah a sak.
18That He may keep back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
18Anih hinghaih to tangqom thung hoiah Sithaw mah pahlong moe, sumsen hoi duek han ai ah pakaa pae.
19He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and all his bones grow stiff;
19Anih loe iihhaih ahmuen ah angsong hanah nathaih hoiah kami to thuitaek moe, ahuhnawk boih to natsak;
20So that his life maketh him to abhor bread, and his soul dainty food.
20To naah a hinghaih mah buh to panuet moe, palung mah buhcaak angnaa pae ai.
21His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones corrode to unsightliness.
21Anih loe zaek kaeng boeh moe, kamtueng vai ai ahuhnawk doeh, amtueng boih.
22Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
22Ue, a hinghaih mah taprong to pangh tathuk, a hinghaih amrosakkungnawk khaeah phak tom boeh.
23If there be for him an angel, an intercessor, one among a thousand, to vouch for a man's uprightness;
23Toe kaminawk khaeah toenghaih loklam to patuek hanah, van kami sangto thungah, maeto mah Sithaw hoi kami salakah laicaeh ah om nahaeloe,
24Then He is gracious unto him, and saith: 'Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.'
24Sithaw mah anih to tahmen ah loe, Tangqom thung caeh han ai ah anih to pahlong ah; anih akranghaih to ka hnuk boeh, tiah thui tih.
25His flesh is tenderer than a child's; he returneth to the days of his youth;
25To naah anih ih ngan loe nawkta ngan baktiah angcoeng let ueloe, thendoeng nathuem ih baktih toengah om let tih.
26He prayeth unto God, and He is favourable unto him; so that he seeth His face with joy; and He restoreth unto man his righteousness.
26Anih mah Sithaw khaeah lawkthui ueloe, mikhmai hoihaih to hnu tih; anghoehaih hoi Sithaw ih mikhmai to hnu tih; Sithaw mah a toenghaih to kami hanah paek.
27He cometh before men, and saith: 'I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not.'
27Anih mah kaminawk hmaa ah, Mi kawbaktih mah doeh ka zae moeng boeh, toenghaih to toeng ai ah ka sak moeng boeh, to hmuen mah kai han avanghaih tidoeh na paek ai, tiah thui nahaeloe,
28So He redeemeth his soul from going into the pit, and his life beholdeth the light.
28Anih mah tangqom thung hoiah a hinghaih to akrang ueloe, a hinghaih mah aanghaih to hnu tih.
29Lo, all these things doth God work, twice, yea thrice, with a man,
29Khenah, Sithaw mah hae hmuennawk hae kami khaeah sak toepsoep;
30To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
30anih hinghaih to tangqom thung hoiah amlaemsak let moe, hinghaih paek aanghaih thungah a caeh haih.
31Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me; hold thy peace, and I will speak.
31Aw Job, naa to patuengah loe, ka lok hae acoehaih hoiah tahngai ah; anghngai duem ah; lok kang thuih han vop.
32If thou hast any thing to say, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify thee.
32Lokthuih na koeh nahaeloe, na pathim ah; toenghaih hnuksak han ka koeh pongah, lok na thui ah.
33If not, hearken thou unto me; hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
33Toe lokthuih han na tawn ai nahaeloe, ka lok hae tahngai ah; anghngai duem ah, palunghahaih kang patuk han, tiah a naa.
